James Cameron is finally getting set to get back behind the director’s chair. There has been lots of talk about both Avatar and Battle Angel (for good reason). Now it looks like Cameron is planning both of these films to be trilogies if the first ones suceed.
The good folks over at Dark Horizons give us this:
“‘Project 880,’ we’ll probably release it as ‘Avatar’. We haven’t locked in on the title yet, but this is what we are calling it. [There will be] possible sequels if it does well; if it tanks, no. We’re in active pre-production on it right now, I’m directing it; I’m directing all these films”
As for his sci-fi thriller about a female cyborg in the 26th century film? “With ‘Battle Angel,’ also, we’ll do the same thing. ‘Battle Angel’ is actually designed as a three-film cycle. So the logic there is to make one and, if it hits, boom-boom on the other two”.
It basically sounds like if each of these films are a box office sucess, then he’ll immediatley start making 2 more of each back-to-back. Not a bad idea.
I know this is a little thing, but what I really like in that little interview was the modesty of Cameron. Just the fact that he acknowledges that his film may “tank”. That’s kinda cool.
